Crypto payments for online sellers

Online sellers carry more chargeback risk than almost any other category. A confirmed crypto payment cannot be reversed. For digital goods especially, that's the difference between a clean sale and a dispute that costs you the product and the fee. The e-commerce setup is different from retail: you're adding a payment option to a checkout flow, not a counter card, and confirmation goes by email rather than a cashier handing over a receipt. These guides cover going live in a web checkout, the copy and messaging for an online storefront, and the compliance basics for remote sales.
